lyrics

play the dishes / wash the guitar



every morning I – go to bed late

and when I get there I – can never wait!

for my turn at the – pearly gates

for my time now – am I late?



play the dishes / wash the guitar



I call shotgun – I cry rape

I’m getting married my – period’s late!

lost my car keys – lost my cool

laugh ‘til you cry I got – nothing new!



play the dishes / wash the guitar



breakfast! eggs! a lady’s legs!

one foot in my mouth, one foot in the grave!



every morning I go to bed late

and when I get there I can never wait

for my turn at the pearly gates

for my time now am I late

play the dishes / wash the guitar



breakfast! eggs! a lady’s legs!

one foot in my mouth, one foot in the grave!



play the dishes / wash the guitar
